Nexia BT played a role in the Electrogas selection process, according to revelations by Daphne Project journalists.
The Daphne Project links news organisations from around the world, including The Guardian, The New York Times, La Repubblica, La Monde and The Times of Malta which have embarked on a project continuing the work of slain journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. She was brutally murdered on 16 October in a car bomb just metres away from her Bidnija residence.
Questions regarding the Electrogas consortium, as well as their contract, have long been speculated about in the media.
The Times of Malta reported that Nexia BT managing partner Brian Tonna, sat on the Enemalta selection committee handling the project, and so did three other members from the same financial services firm.
They report that Nexia BT and subsidiaries also had other roles in the power station project.
Nexia BT was the company used by Tourism Minister Konrad Mizzi and OPM Chief of Staff Keith Schembri to help open their Panama companies and New Zealand Trusts.
During the Panama Papers revelations, It was revealed that Tonna described Schembri as a close friend.
The Times of Malta reports that several people known t be close to Konrad Mizzi also sat on the selection committee, including Godwin Sant.
It was previously reported that Godwin Sant, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Sustainable Energy and Water Conservation Unit who was dismissed after it was alleged that he accepted gifts from oil giant Trafigura at rogue oil trader George Farrugia's request, had been handpicked by Energy Minister Konrad Mizzi for the job. He denies the charges.
They also report that David Galea also sat on the committee, and that he was another associate of Mizzi. They also state that notary Marco Burlo and Joe Vella Bonnici sat on the committee.
The Times of Malta reports that Enemalta said all consultants who form part of the evaluation teams were appointed based on their expertise, relevant experience and qualifications.
Minister Mizzi, according to the Times of Malta, argues that no discussions with Nexia BT regarding setting up his Panama company at the time took place.
The news reports also read that Nexia BT had another task, to assess Electrogas's business plan on behalf of the energy and water services regulator.
